(See engraving of horse’s teeth from the age of 7 to 18 years. Always look for the cups in the upper teeth.)

7	years.	The cups in center of teeth are large.
8	years.	A trifle smaller.
9	years.	Still smaller.
11	years.	Smaller.
12	years.	Cups in center of teeth are smaller and nearly round.
14	years.	The teeth are round and cups have nearly disappeared.
16	years.	Are a mere speck in the teeth; scarcely discernible.
18	years.	The cups have worn away, and the teeth are round.
